However, with every project, there is risk that must be assessed to ensure that the project is completed successfully (Schwalbe, 2015). There are a few risks which need to be assets with the current project. The first risk is one that would see a disagreement between offices within the same organization. As we do not maintain oversight on other locations, other stakeholders may not desire to convert their process. If this occurred, business conducted with the other offices would still require paper. Hence, our office would have to convert back to the money wasting, slow processes that utilize paper. This would reduce the benefits of switching to the improved process. Therefore, a plan must be discussed to ensure that all the office …show more content…
Furthermore, it should be mentioned that employee time, hence productivity is also wasted on the current process. Another aspect that must be discussed which helps not only show weakness in the current process but would also show the benefits of a new process is a strength, weakness, opportunities and threats analysis (SWOT). By providing a SWOT analysis on the current process it will show the stakeholder that there is money wasting problems with the current process. It will also provide the stakeholder with valuable ideas on how to refine the process (Reveley-Mahan, 2012). Moreover, a SWOT analysis can be done with the refined process. This is vital as identifying risks within a process and discussing how they can be mitigated is an aspect of convincing stakeholders to authorize a project (Nayab, 2010). Therefore, by providing the stakeholders with data on cost saving aspects of the process improvement as well as discussing the risks is imperative to ensuring that all locations convert their process. Another issue which will see the new process not being utilized is the issue which finds employees not converting to the new process as the old process is more convenient. The best course of action to alleviate this risk is to ensure the employees maintain a “buy in”. This means that the employee understands the value of the process and sees how it benefits them. This can be done by holding a meeting which discusses
However, the largest hurdle that most companies face during the implementation/integration of a new system or process are the users. It is normal to encounter resistance by users, they perceive change as a potential threat to their jobs, and removes them from their routine and/or comfort zone.
2.3.2 Describe the risks and possible consequences for children and young people using the internet, mobile phones and other technologies.
Once the plans are put in motion interventions are designed to gain the necessary compliance. The manager needs to provide information by doing so he can change an individual’s perception, attitudes and values this is a plus for the manager. Training the employees to the new way will give them information and skill practice it show them how to perform in a system not how to change it. When possible the manager should use groups to discuss issues that are perceived as important and make relevant, binding decisions based on these discussions. Individual and group implementation can be combined so whatever methods are used participants should feel their input is valued and should be rewarded for their efforts. In some cases people are not always persuaded before beneficial change is implemented, sometimes behavior changes first and attitudes are modified later to fit the behavior (Sullivan & Decker, 2009, p. 71).
Successful organizations continuously strive to improve the processes they have in place. Process improvement leads to better quality control, higher efficiencies and lower costs. In order to implement a process improvement plan, it is necessary to collect and analyze data from the process. In this paper, I present an analysis of the metric data collected for the process I identified during week #1. As part of the analysis, the control and confidence limits are calculated, as well as other relevant statistics. With this information, a process improvement
In order to successfully and effectively implement change all of the employees should have a good understanding of how the changes will benefit the organization, their positions, and how it might impact their routines. To many employees the implementation of change is not always properly communicated, and the process of change on paper as it is being implemented can be threatening as well as confusing. Also, the people behind the scenes making the changes may not have taken specific details into consideration regarding effective changes that perhaps the employees
Some many organizational change efforts fail to reach their intention, but the high-ranking sponsors often blame the disappointment on the employees and manager struggle to change at times. They really don’t know how difficult it is to lead and implement change effectively (Robbins, 2011). A good change does require good people skills. Employees resist change because employees can be very unsure about the loss of status or job security within the organization. This would mean the employees and there manager as well as their peers will resist technological changes. The employees will also endure fear of failure that could cause employees to doubt their ability to do the job/ or their duty. Those type of change employees are resisting because the employees are too worried about learning the new requirements. Peer pressure can be endured as well for employees when the employees start to resist change to protect their co-worker, and so will the manager to protect their work group. The human resources roles are planning and implementation, planning would be evaluation of
Many employees are still at the resistance and conditional acceptance stages of transition. Firstly, I need to personally reach a state of buy-in before attempting to win others. I can seek to re-open closed communication channels and ascertain all the benefits associated with the new modus operandi. I particularly like the idea of having “transition forums” to drive consensus, and even now believe my team needs to be more engaged around a clearly defined common goal.
The purpose of this memo is to state the topic I have chosen for my process report, and why it is worth presenting. I will also provide information as to how I plan to utilize the research needed for the topic that I have chosen.
I must acknowledge the Internet as a most valuable tool that helped me in the research and completion of this project. The reference page indicates the sources I tapped for the purposes of accessing information.
The critique method is an example of how varying County departments work to improve efficiency. Following completion of a project or the introduction of a new procedure, employees and supervisors engage in discussion to evaluate results. This analysis stimulates creative problem solving, and helps refine workflow. Individual and group focus on efficiency also works to enhance the County’s accountability and external and internal customer satisfaction.
49). To perform this structural change using Christensen and Knudsen (2013), four-step design method, I plan to incrementally evaluate the mission and environment, rule out any bias opinions, perform an analytic thinking of organizational and individual operations, eliminate redundancy among stakeholders, provide small groups for conducting a majority rule voting style this is performed in determining the last determination, consider all corollaries and lastly contemplate the cost (Christensen & Knudsen,
Prior to enhancing a product within a large corporation, the company must have a strategic plan in place to ensure that the change runs smoothly. The strategy plan will focus on the company’s strengths, weaknesses’, opportunities, threats, and trends in terms of the new product, by developing and performing a SWOTT analysis. “A SWOTT analysis is an acronym for the internal Strengths and Weaknesses of a firm, and the environmental Opportunities and Threats facing that firm. SWOTT analysis is a technique through
2. Disidentification - They may feel as though their identity is being threatened by the change. Rather than focus on the changed procedures, they may try to cling onto a past procedure in order to make themselves feel secure. Managers can try active listening to try and engage employees in the change and show that they are fully supportive of the employee's concerns.
Personal impact and fear of change are not the only causes of resistance by individuals during a change to business practices. The lack of respect and negative attitudes can also lead to employees resisting business change. If an employee lacks respect or has a negative attitude towards a person or department leading the change, then there are more likely to oppose the new ideas being implemented. Poor communication greatly impacts individuals’ accepted to new practices in a company. Typically if an employee is given new behaviors to adopt, but is given no reason, then that employee may reject the change. Upper management must effectively relate the value, need and benefit of the change to help get employees on board with new changes. The lack of individual input can also lead to resistance. Some individuals feel the need to be included in new ideas. When employees are not asked to be involved in changes, they may lack the vision of importance or will to change. A heavier workload can also cause opposition among employees. Employees may not embrace more systems and requirements needed
The Internet is a technology that has negative impacts on our daily lives. It has changed aspects of our life for the last 50 years, and it has demonstrated the considerable influence on people’s lives. Almost 3.2 billion people in the world use the internet. The Internet has gained acceptance across the globe, and it has also become a reason behind the critical changes in the modern society. Some of the changes are social isolation, health disorder, lack of privacy and internet addiction.
